  • London Symphony Orchestra with Sir Simon Rattle, Music Director
    LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WITH SIR SIMON RATTLE, MUSIC DIRECTOR PROGRAM BARTÓK Concerto for Orchestra (1881 – 1945) Duke Bluebeard’s Castle VILLA-LOBOS Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 (1887 – 1959) MAHLER Symphony No. 4 in G Major (1860 – 1911) PROGRAM NOTES Written by Dan Ruccia BÉLA BARTÓK CONCERTO FOR ORCHESTRA Times were rough for Béla Bartók in 1943. He and his wife, pianist Ditta Pázstory, had migrated to the United States in 1940 to escape the pro-Nazi regime in Hungary, but had found limited success as performers. To survive, Bartók did some ethnomusicological work at Columbia and occasionally lectured there and at and Harvard, but he was generally unsatisfied with his situation. To make matters worse, his health had recently deteriorated; in February 1943, he collapsed after a lecture at Harvard. When he was admitted to the hospital, he weighed only 87 pounds. It wasn’t clear how much longer he had to live. Initially, the nature of Bartók’s illness was unclear. Early diagnoses included tuberculosis and polycythemia. It was only in April 1944 that doctors pinned down his actual diagnosis—chronic myeloid leukemia—but by then, there was little that could be done. In May 1943, conductor Serge Koussevitzky of the Boston Symphony commissioned a new orchestral work from Bartók through the recently formed Koussevitzky Music Foundation. The ailing composer was initially hesitant; he did not want to take a commission that he might not be able to finish. But Koussevitzky insisted that the commission was a fait accompli and the money could only go to Bartók. With the commission in hand, it seems that Bartók became energized.

  • Elgar, Cello Concerto in E Minor
    Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 i. Adagio; Moderato ii. Lento; Allegro molto iii. Adagio iv. Allegro; Moderato; Allegro, ma non troppo; Poco più lento; Adagio Edward Elgar enjoys a curious reputation in his own country. To many, he is the composer of overtly nationalistic music such as Pomp and Circumstance, the musical incarnation of Edwardian imperialism. Although early works such as the Enigma Variations and Imperial March garnered him praise and fame, it is his later works from 1918-1919 that are much more autobiographical in content – none more so than the Cello Concerto in E minor. The Concerto was mostly composed between 1918 and 1919 at Brinkwells, a cottage in the Sussex woods where he wrote three other chamber works – the Violin Sonata, String Quartet and Piano Quintet. Like these other Brinkwells compositions, the Cello Concerto is a deeply introspective work which reveals much about the composer’s state of mind: an aging artist concerned about his waning popularity, his wife’s failing health, and reflecting on the horrors of the First World War. Despite a grossly under-rehearsed première at the Queen’s Hall on 27 October 1919, it has since been established as perhaps the finest cello concerto in the repertoire, alongside Dvořák’s, and the only work of Elgar’s to enjoy regular performances outside the English-speaking world. The Cello Concerto is an emotionally draining work not only for the players but also the listener, its overwhelming mood one of melancholy and autumnal world-weariness. The first movement opens with a declamatory, grandiose statement by the soloist leading, in almost improvisatory style, into a lilting melody; there is a wistfully lyrical middle section before the opening melody returns.

  • String Quartet in E Minor, Op 83
    String Quartet in E minor, op 83 A quartet in three movements for two violins, viola and cello: 1 - Allegro moderato; 2 - Piacevole (poco andante); 3 - Allegro molto. Approximate Length: 30 minutes First Performance: Date: 21 May 1919 Venue: Wigmore Hall, London Performed by: Albert Sammons, W H Reed - violins; Raymond Jeremy - viola; Felix Salmond - cello Dedicated to: The Brodsky Quartet Elgar composed two part-quartets in 1878 and a complete one in 1887 but these were set aside and/or destroyed. Years later, the violinist Adolf Brodsky had been urging Elgar to compose a string quartet since 1900 when, as leader of the Hallé Orchestra, he performed several of Elgar's works. Consequently, Elgar first set about composing a String Quartet in 1907 after enjoying a concert in Malvern by the Brodsky Quartet. However, he put it aside when he embarked with determination on his long-delayed First Symphony. It appears that the composer subsequently used themes intended for this earlier quartet in other works, including the symphony. When he eventually returned to the genre, it was to compose an entirely fresh work. It was after enjoying an evening of chamber music in London with Billy Reed’s quartet, just before entering hospital for a tonsillitis operation, that Elgar decided on writing the quartet, and he began it whilst convalescing, completing the first movement by the end of March 1918. He composed that first movement at his home, Severn House, in Hampstead, depressed by the war news and debilitated from his operation. By May, he could move to the peaceful surroundings of Brinkwells, the country cottage that Lady Elgar had found for them in the depth of the Sussex countryside.

  • Czech Portraits Friday, Mar
    Czech Portraits Friday, Mar. 4 10:30am Vítězslav NovákNovák, Czech composer (1870-1949) Vítězslav Novák held an almost “cult status” popu- larity among his native Czech people. Like his mentor Antonín Dvořák, he used thematic mate- rial from Czech folk melodies in his music and was inspired by the landscape of his native country in South Bohemia. In 1908 he succeeded Dvořák as professor of composition at the Prague Conserva- tory and helped lead the next generation of Czech composers into the new age. Lady Godiva Overture Composed in 1907, duration is 15 minutes This piece was commissioned to open a Czech play of the same name and is taken from a 13th century story about the noble-hearted and beautiful Lady REPERTOIRE Godiva. It tells the story of the Lady’s efforts to end the suffering and oppression of the people in Coventry under her husband’s rule, Count Leofric.

  • Bath Festival Orchestra Programme 2021
    Bath Festival Orchestra photo credit: Nick Spratling Peter Manning Conductor Rowan Pierce Soprano Monday 17 May 7:30pm Bath Abbey Programme Carl Maria von Weber Overture: Der Freischütz Weber Der Freischütz (Op.77, The Marksman) is a German Overture to Der Freischütz opera in three acts which premiered in 1821 at the Schauspielhaus, Berlin. Many have suggested that it was the first important German Romantic opera, Strauss with the plot based around August Apel’s tale of the same name. Upon its premiere, the opera quickly 5 Orchestral Songs became an international success, with the work translated and rearranged by Hector Berlioz for a French audience. In creating Der Freischütz Weber Brentano Lieder Op.68 embodied the ideal of the Romantic artist, inspired Ich wollt ein Sträuẞlein binden by poetry, history, folklore and myths to create a national opera that would reflect the uniqueness of Säusle, liebe Myrthe German culture. Amor Weber is considered, alongside Beethoven, one of the true founders of the Romantic Movement in Morgen! Op.27 music. He lived a creative life and worked as both a pianist and music critic before making significant contributions to the operatic genre from his appointment at the Dresden Staatskapelle in 1817, Das Rosenband Op.36 where he realised that the opera-goers were hearing almost nothing other than Italian works. His three German operas acted as a remedy to this situation, Brahms with Weber hoping to embody the youthful Serenade No.1 in D, Op.11 Romantic movement of Germany on the operatic stage. These works not only established Weber as a long-lasting Romantic composer, but served to define German Romanticism and make its name as an important musical force in Europe throughout the 19th century.
